StarSkirmish pits AI-created StarCraft robots against each other, as well as against human-made robots. OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5.5 were essentially tied as the highest-scoring AI-created robots, but they couldn’t surpass Stardust, the highest-rated human-created robot.
On Friday, GPT faced Claude and the man-made robot Pluto, but according to Kotakuhe couldn’t really gain the advantage. So he resorted to a tactic that is becoming increasingly common for modern AI models: he broke the rules. GPT-6 Astra went to download Stardust and started running it instead of its own bot.
That the GPT-6 Astra has taken it upon itself to step out of bounds when faced with an obstacle should surprise no one. When OpenAI agents couldn’t get the data they wanted from a UN website, they found a creative solution and hijacked Google’s XSS game (a cross-site scripting learning tool). Company agents also engaged in “deceptive behavior” to cover their tracks. Sure, the OpenAI agents are the only ones going rogue, but at least the others haven’t been caught cheating at StarCraft yet.
